Cupramine & antibiotics

[Cactuspixie]

I have waited two days for the seachem mods to approve me so I can post my question there, and I'm getting quite anxious.

I need to know if there is an antibiotic that can be used SIMULTANEOUSLY with Cupramine.

I honestly would not mix copper with anything else. Copper has antibacterial properties by itself. If Seachem suggests something, understand what they are suggesting, why they are suggesting it, the possible risks and how to properly dose before adding anything else to the copper regimen.

Thanks for your reply jlk, seachem got back to me and were pretty unambiguous on the subject:

"Thank you for your email. Unfortunately we do not recommend any other medications in conjunction with our Cupramine. We highly recommend that this medication be used separately and by its self. "

I've got some fresh carbon and cuprisorb on hand, so I'll get rid of the copper and do another 50% pwc before starting antibiotic treatment.
